Not the best
Received my HB-35 in June or July, and the fretboard was extremely dry, probably been sitting in a warehouse for months.
Guitar wasn't particularly set up very well either. Anyways, it's a cheaper guitar, so I let it slip and not bother contacting about that.
As I played it, I realised it had a slight vibration, especially when playing low end chords, like A. I began to think the truss rod was loose, but as I am learning jazz, Im not down at the A chords/lower chords really. But the more I play it, there is a slight vibration then today, trying to ascertain what was causing the vibration, I noticed that the pick ups move very easily, and this may be the cause of vibration or part of it. along with truss rod. It is a nice looking guitar but I don't want this issue to get any worse. I don't think I would buy one again. I have played Strats/guitars for over 30 years, since 1985, so I know my way around a guitar. This was my first 335 type shape guitar, to learn more jazz, but it's kind of putting me off now.

Aesthetically pleasing but frustrating in parts
The guitar looks wonderful and is very comfortable to play. The tone is very nice too (and I'm playing through an old Line 6). Tone an volume knobs all work perfectly also.
Unfortunately the strings don't tend to hold their tune though. I've tried to remedy this myself but (so far) to no avail. Its a shame because, for the price of the guitar which I know is budget, if this could be improved then it would be an absolute catch!
